This recipe makes good use of the bold flavor of black walnuts, which are native to central and eastern United States. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 2/3 cups white sugar |
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
3 eggs |
1 1/8 cups milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon black walnut extract |
1 cup chopped black walnuts |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat in well. Add flour mixture alternately with milk and mix well. Add vanilla and walnut extract. Fold in nuts.
3. Pour batter into 2 - 9 inch pans. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
